TECHNICAL, FIELD

The disclosure relates to the technical field, of wireless communications, and particularly to a method, device and system for information transmission.

BACKGROUND

With the development of communication technologies, researches on 5th generation wireless communication system (5G) have been made. Radio access in 5G is called new radio (NR). In a long term evolution (LTE) system, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is transmitted in a control region of the system. The control region of the system occupies a whole system bandwidth and occupies 1 to 4 symbols. The specific number of symbols is notified to a terminal through a physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH). In a 5G NR technology, the concept of control REsource SET (CORESET) is introduced. A PDCCH can be transmitted in a CORESET. The CORESET occupies 1 to 3 symbols in a time domain and occupies a configured bandwidth rather than a whole system bandwidth in a frequency domain. Therefore, for example, for time-frequency resource blocks (RBs), a shape representing resource elements (REs) occupied by the CORESET may be more complex than a shape representing REs occupied by the PDCCH in the LTE system. A frequency-domain bandwidth resource and a number of time-domain symbols occupied by the CORESET may be configured for a terminal through high-layer signaling.

A search space of each terminal is defined in a CORESET, and a PDCCH of the terminal is transmitted on PDCCH candidates in the search space.

In order to improve a utilization rate of resources, a resource that is not used for a PDCCH in 5G NR may be shared with a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). Therefore, a terminal needs to know whether a PDCCH of another user exists in its own PDSCH, so as to serve as a basis for PDSCH rate matching of the terminal.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the disclosure will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in detail.

Referring to FIG. 1 , an exemplary simplified structure of a communication system is illustrated. It is to be pointed out that the system illustrated in FIG. 1 is only a system example that the embodiments of the disclosure may he applied to and the technical solutions of the embodiments of the disclosure may be implemented in any system in various systems according to a practical requirement. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the wireless system may include a core network side, a base station and user equipment (UE). In FIG. 1 , the base station 102 may communicate with one or more UEs such as UE 104, UE 106 and UE 108, etc. through a transmission medium and provide an access point to the care network side for the UB 104, UE 106 and UE 108, etc. Therefore, the base station 102 in an LTE system may be an evolved node B (eNB), and the base station 102 in 5G NR may be a gNB. Examples of the UE 104, UE I06 and UE 108 may include a cell phone, a smart phone, a session initiation protocol (SIP) phone, a laptop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), satellite ratio, a global positioning system, a multimedia device, a video device, a digital audio player (for example, a moving picture experts group audio layer-3 (MP3) player), a camera, a game console, a tablet computer or any other device with a similar function. The UE 104, UE 106 and UE 108 may also be called, by those skilled in the art, a terminal, a mobile station, a subscriber station, a mobile unit, a subscriber unit, a wireless unit, a remote unit, a mobile device, a wireless device, a wireless communication device, a remote device, a mobile subscriber station, an access terminal, a mobile terminal, a wireless terminal, a remote terminal, a handheld device, a user agent, a mobile client, a client or some other proper terms.

Referring, to a schematic diagram of time-frequency resources illustrated in FIG. 2 , since PDCCH and PDSCH can share resources in 5G NR, a PDSCH transmitted to UE by a base station may include PDCCHs of one or more other terminals, may also include a PDCCH of the UE only and may also include no PDCCH. As illustrated in FIG. 2 , taking UE #1 as an example, a PDCCH of UE #1 is located in CORESET3. When a network schedules a PDSCH of UE #1 in region 1 and a starting symbol of the PDSCH is a first symbol in a slot, the PDSCH includes a CORESET of other UEs. When the network schedules the PDSCH of UE #1 in region 2, the PDSCH does not include a CORESET of any UE. When the network schedules the PDSCH of UE #1 in region 3 and the starting symbol is greater than a last symbol occupied by CORESET2, the PDSCH does not include the CORESET of other UEs.

It may be understood that, when the PDSCH of UE #1 includes PDCCHs of one or more other UEs, PDSCH rate matching of UE #1 may be affected to cause the condition that a PDSCH data packet may not be correctly parsed in a short time period. For avoiding such a condition, the following embodiments are proposed.

First Embodiment

Referring to FIG. 3 , a method for information transmission provided in the embodiment of the disclosure is illustrated. The method may he applied to a network device in a network system, for example, a gNB in 5G NR. The method may include the following operations.

At block S301, indication information for a target terminal is generated.

The indication information is to indicate at least one of: existence states of PDCCHs of one or more non-target terminals in a PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal, or resource occupation states of the one or more non-target terminals in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal.

It is to be explained that, in the embodiment and subsequent embodiments, for the target terminal, any other terminal other than the target terminal in the communication system may be called a “non-target terminal” and the non-target terminal will not be elaborated in the embodiment and the subsequent embodiments.

At block S302, the indication information is transmitted to the target terminal.

It may be understood that the target terminal, after receiving the indication information, may learn whether the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal includes PDCCHs of one or more other terminals based on the indication information and the terminal may perform PDSCH rate matching based on the learned content, thereby reducing matching errors to avoid the condition that a PDSCH data packet may not be correctly parsed in a short time period due to the matching errors.

For the technical solution illustrated in FIG. 3 , in a first possible implementation, the indication information includes one bit in PDCCH signaling, and a value of the bit is used for representing at least one of: whether the PDCCHs of the one or more non-target terminals exist in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal, or whether resources in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal are occupied by the one or more non-target terminals.

Specifically, the bit may represent, through bit values 0 and 1, at least one of: whether the PDCCHs of the one or more non-target terminals exist in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal, or whether resources in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal are occupied by the one or more non-target terminals. For example, when the value of the bit is 0, it is represented at least one of: no PDCCH of the one or more non-target terminals exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal, or no resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal is occupied by the one or more non-target terminals. When the value of the bit is 1, it is represented at least one of: the PDCCHs of the one or more non-target terminals exist in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal, or the resources in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal are occupied by the one or more non-target terminals. It may be understood that, in another example, it may also be represented, through the bit value 1, that at least one of: no PDCCH of the one or more non-target terminals exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal, or no resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal is occupied by the one or more non-target terminals and represented, through the bit value 0, that at least one of: the PDCCHs of the one or more non-target terminals exist in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal, or the resources in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal are occupied by the one or more non-target terminals. There are no elaborations made thereto in the embodiment. However, for conveniently understanding the technical solution, the bit value and content represented by the bit value in the first example in the two examples are adopted in the embodiment of the disclosure.

For the technical solution illustrated in FIG. 3 , in a second possible implementation, the indication information includes N bits in the PDCCH signaling, N being greater than 1, each bit corresponds to a respective one of the one or more non-target terminals, and each bit is used for representing at least one of whether a PDCCH of the non-target terminal corresponding to the bit exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal, or whether a resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal is occupied by the non-target terminal corresponding to the bit.

Specifically, each bit may represent, through bit values 0 and 1, at least one of: whether the PDCCH of the corresponding non-target terminal exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal, or whether a resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal is occupied by the corresponding non-target terminal. For example, when a value of the bit is 0, it is represented that at least one of: no PDCCH of the non-target terminal corresponding to the bit exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal, or no resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal is occupied by the non-target terminal corresponding to the bit; and when the value of the bit is 1, it is represented at least one of: a PDCCH of the non-target terminal corresponding to the bit exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal, or a resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal is occupied by the non-target terminal corresponding to the bit. It may be understood that in another example, it may also be represented, through the bit value 1, that at least one of: no PDCCH of the non-target terminal corresponding to the bit exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal, or no resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal is occupied by the non-target terminal corresponding to the bit and represented, through the bit value 0, that at least one of: the PDCCH of the non-target terminal corresponding to the bit exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal, or a resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal is occupied by the non-target terminal corresponding to the bit. There are no elaborations made thereto in the embodiment. However, for conveniently understanding the technical solution, the bit value and content represented by the bit value in the first example in the two examples are adopted in the embodiment of the disclosure.

It is to be noted that, in the two possible implementations, the indication information is carried through the PDCCH signaling. Specifically, the PDCCH signaling may include downlink control information (DCI). There are no elaborations made thereto in the embodiment.

In addition, for the technical solution illustrated in FIG. 3 , in a third possible implementation, the indication information includes one bit in RRC signaling. A value of the bit is used for representing at least one of: whether PDCCHs of the one or more non-target terminals exist in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal, or whether resources in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal are occupied by the one or more non-target terminals.

For the technical solution illustrated in FIG. 3 , in a fourth possible implementation, the indication information includes N bits in the RRC signaling, N being greater than 1, each bit corresponds to a respective one of the one or more non-target terminals, and each bit is used for representing at least one of: whether a PDCCH of the non-target terminal corresponding to the bit exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal, or whether a resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal is occupied by the non-target terminal corresponding to the bit.

Specifically, in the third and fourth implementations, a meaning of the value of the bit in the RRC signaling is the same as the meaning of the value of the bit in the PDCCH signaling described in the first and second implementations and will not be elaborated herein.

It is to be noted that, since the indication information is carried through the RRC signaling, before receiving RRC signaling indicating a change of the indication information, for example, RRC signaling carrying new indication information, the target terminal may determine, based on the indication information carried through the present RRC signaling, at least one of whether PDCCHs of one or more non-target terminals exist in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal, or whether resources in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal are occupied by the one or more non-target terminals.

According to the above implementations, it may be seen that the network device, for example, the gNB, may carry the indication information through the PDCCH signaling or the RRC signaling to enable the terminal to learn at least one of: whether the PDCCHs of the one or more other terminals exist in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, or whether the resources in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal are occupied by the one or more other terminals. Therefore, PDSCH rate matching may be performed based on a content learned from the indication information to avoid the condition that a PDSCH data packet may not be correctly parsed in a short time period due to a matching error.

Second Embodiment

Based on the same inventive concept of the abovementioned embodiment, referring to FIG. 4 , an information transmission method provided in the embodiment of the disclosure is illustrated. The method may be applied to a terminal in a network system. The method may include the following operations.

At block S401, the terminal receives indication information.

The indication information is to indicate at least one of: existence states of PDCCHs of one or more other terminals in a PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, or resource occupation states of the one or more other terminals in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal.

At block S402, the terminal performs rate matching on the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal based on the indication information.

It may be understood that the terminal, after learning, through the indication information, at least one of: the existence states of the PDCCHs of the one or more other terminals in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal or the resource occupation states of the one or more other terminals in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, may perform PDSCH rate matching based on the learned content, thereby reducing occurrence of matching errors to avoid the condition that a PDSCH data packet may not be correctly parsed in a short time period due to the matching errors.

For the technical solution illustrated in FIG. 4 , in a first possible implementation, the indication information includes one bit in PDCCH signaling, and a value of the bit is used for representing at least one of: whether the PDCCHs of the one or more other terminals exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, or whether resources in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal are occupied by the one or more other terminals.

Specifically, when the value of the bit is 0, it is represented at least one of: no PDCCH of the one or more other terminals exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, or no resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal is occupied by the one or more other terminals; and when the value of the bit is 1, it is represented at least one of: the PDCCHs of the one or more other terminals exist in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, or the resources in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal are occupied by the one or more other terminals. It may be understood that, in another example, it may also be represented, through the bit value 1, at least one of: no PDCCH of the one or more non-target terminals exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal, or no resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal is occupied by the one or more non-target terminals and represented, through the bit value 0, at least one of: the PDCCHs of the one or more non-target terminals exist in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, or the resources in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal are occupied by the one or more non-target terminals. There are no elaborations made thereto in the embodiment. However, for conveniently understanding the technical solution, the bit value and content represented by the bit value in the first example in the two examples are adopted in the embodiment of the disclosure.

For the technical solution illustrated in FIG. 4 , in a second possible implementation, the indication information includes N bits in the PDCCH signaling, N being greater than 1, each bit corresponds to a respective one of the one or more other terminals, and each bit is used for representing at least one of: whether a PDCCH of the other terminal corresponding to the bit exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, or whether a resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal is occupied by the other terminal corresponding to the bit.

Specifically, each bit may represent, through bit values 0 and 1, at least one of: whether the PDCCH of the other terminal corresponding to the bit exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, or whether a resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal is occupied by the other terminal corresponding to the bit. For example, when the value of the bit is 0, it is represented at least one of: no PDCCH of the other terminal corresponding to the bit exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, or no resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal is occupied by the other terminal corresponding to the bit; and when the value of the bit is 1, it is represented at least one of: the PDCCH of the other terminal corresponding to the bit exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, or a resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal is occupied by the other terminal corresponding to the bit. It may be understood that, in another example, it may also be represented, through the bit value 1, at least one of: no PDCCH of the non-target terminal corresponding to the bit exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal, or no resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal is occupied by the non-target terminal corresponding to the bit and represented, through the bit value 0, at least one of: the PDCCH of the non-target terminal corresponding to the bit exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal, or the resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the target terminal is occupied by the non-target terminal corresponding to the bit. There are no elaborations made thereto in the embodiment. However, for conveniently understanding the technical solution, the bit value and content represented by the bit value in the first example in the two examples are adopted in the embodiment of the disclosure.

It is to be noted that, in the two possible implementations, the indication information is carried through the PDCCH signaling. Specifically, the PDCCH signaling may be DCI. There are no elaborations made thereto in the embodiment.

In addition, for the technical solution illustrated in FIG. 4 , in a third possible implementation, the indication information includes one bit in RRC signaling, and a value of the bit is used for representing at least one of: whether the PDCCHs of the one or more other terminals exist in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, or whether resources in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal are occupied by the one or more other terminals.

For the technical solution illustrated in FIG. 4 , in a fourth possible implementation, the indication information includes N bits in the RRC signaling, N being greater than 1, each bit corresponds to a respective one of the one or more other terminals, and each bit is used for representing at least one of: whether a PDCCH of the other terminal corresponding to the bit exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, or whether a resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal is occupied by the other terminal corresponding to the bit.

Specifically, in the third and fourth implementations, a meaning of the value of the bit in the RRC signaling is the same as the meaning of the value of the bit in the PDCCH signaling described in the first and second implementations and will not be elaborated herein.

In the four implementations, specific solutions of carrying the indication information through two types or signaling are introduced. Based on different numbers of bits in the four implementations, different implementation processes may also be adopted for S402. The following two implementation processes may be included.

First Implementation

When the indication information includes one bit in the PDCCH signaling or the RRC signaling, the operation that the terminal performs rate matching on the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal based on the indication information may include the following operations.

When a value of the bit is 0, the terminal determines whether the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal includes a PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH according to preset correspondences between time-frequency resources of a PDSCH and time-frequency resources of a PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH.

If the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal includes the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH, the terminal removes the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal and then performs the rate matching.

If no PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, the terminal directly performs the rate matching on the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal.

When the value of the bit is 1, the terminal removes resources occupied by PDCCHs of the one or more another terminals from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal and then performs the rate matching.

In an implementation, after removing the resources occupied by the PDCCHS of the one or more other terminals from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, the terminal further removes a resource occupied by a PDCCH of the terminal from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal. Therefore, the following operations may further be included.

The terminal determines whether the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal includes the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH according to preset correspondences between time-frequency resources of the PDSCH and time-frequency resources of the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH.

If the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal includes the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH, the terminal removes the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal.

If the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal does not include the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH the terminal directly performs rate matching on the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal.

Specifically, at first, the operation that the terminal removes the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal may include the following operation.

The terminal removes a CORESET corresponding to the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal or removes an RE occupied by the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal according to a preset removal strategy. It is to be understood that a resource occupied by a CORESET corresponding to a PDCCH is usually more than an RE occupied by the PDCCH. Therefore, the terminal may learn the removal strategy by predetermining with a network side or by receiving notification information from the network side.

Then, the operation that the terminal removes the resourced occupied by the PDCCHs of the one or more other terminals from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal may include the following operation.

The terminal removes resources occupied by CORESETs of the one or more other terminals from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal. It is to be noted that the terminal may also learn information about CORESETs of the one or more other terminals through configuration information transmitted by the network side in advance and then may learn the resources occupied by the CORESETs of the one or more other terminals in advance.

Second Implementation

When the indication information includes N bits in the PDCCH signaling or the RRC signaling, the operation that rate matching is performed on the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal according to the indication information may include the following operations.

The terminal traverses values of all the bits.

When the values of all the bits are 0, the terminal determines whether the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal includes the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH according to preset correspondences between time-frequency resources of the PDSCH and time-frequency resources of the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH.

If the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal includes the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH, the terminal removes the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal and then performs rate matching.

If the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal does not include the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH, the terminal directly performs rate matching on the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal.

When a value of at least one bit in all the bits is 1, the terminal removes a resource occupied by a PDCCH of the other terminal corresponding to the bit of which the value is 1 from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal and then performs rate matching.

In an implementation, after removing the resource occupied by the PDCCH of the other terminal corresponding to the bit of which the value is 1 from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, the terminal limiter removes the resource occupied by the PDCCH of the terminal from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal. Therefore, the following operations may further be included.

The terminal determines whether the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal includes the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH according to the preset correspondences between the time-frequency resources of the PDSCH and the time-frequency resources of the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH.

If the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal includes the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH, the terminal removes the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal.

If the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal does not include the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH, the terminal directly performs rate matching on the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal.

It is to be noted that the operation that the terminal removes the resource occupied by the PDCCH of the other terminal corresponding to the bit of which the value is 1 from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal may include the following operation.

The terminal removes a resource occupied by a CORESET of the other terminal corresponding to the bit of which the value is 1 from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal.

It may be understood that the terminal, before performing rate matching on the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, removes the resources occupied by the PDCCHs of the one or more other terminal from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal through the two implementation processes, thereby reducing occurrence of matching errors to avoid the condition that a PDSCH data packet may not be correctly parsed in a short time period due to the matching errors.

Third Embodiment

The technical solutions of the abovementioned embodiments will be described below with specific examples in detail.

FIRST EXAMPLE

In the example, the indication information includes only one bit, and thus the bit represents whether a PDSCH transmitted to a terminal includes PDCCHs of one or more other terminals. Referring to FIG. 5 , a flow of the example is as follows.

In S501, a terminal acquires resources occupied by PDCCHs of the one or more other terminals.

Specifically, the terminal may acquire the resources occupied by the PDCCHs of the one or more other terminals, specifically resources occupied by CORESETs of the one or more other terminals, through pre-configuration of a network.

In S502, a base station sets one bit in PDCCH signaling or RRC signaling and assigns a value to the bit.

For example, the value of the bit is to represent at least one of: whether the PDCCHs of the one or more other terminals exist in a PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, or whether resources in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal are occupied by the one or more other terminals. Specifically, when the value of the bit is 0, it is represented at least one of: no PDCCH of the one or more other terminals exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, or no resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal is occupied by the one or more other terminals; and when the value of the bit is 1, it is represented at least one of: the PDCCHs of the one or more other terminals exist in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, or the resources in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal is occupied by the one or more other terminals.

In S503, the base station sends the PDCCH signaling or the RRC signaling to the terminal.

In S504, the terminal parses the PDCCH signaling or the RRC signaling to acquire the value of the bit.

In S504, the terminal judges whether the value of the bit is 1, if YES, S505 is executed, and if NO, S506 is executed.

In S505, the terminal removes the resources occupied by the PDCCHs of the one or more other terminals from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal and then performs rate matching.

In S506, the terminal determines whether the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal includes a PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH according to preset correspondences between time-frequency resources of a PDSCH and time-frequency resources of a PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH, if YES, S507 is executed, otherwise S508 is executed.

In S507, the terminal removes the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal and then performs rate matching.

In S508, the terminal directly performs rate matching, on the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal.

It is to be understood that S506 to S508 are for the operation that the terminal removes a resource occupied by a PDCCH of the terminal from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, so that, in a specific implementation process, after the resources occupied by the PDCCHs of the one or more other terminals are removed front the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal according to S505, removal of the resource occupied by the PDCCH of the terminal from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal and final rate matching may further be implemented according to S506 to S508.

From the example, it may be seen that the terminal learns whether the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal includes the PDCCHs of the one or more other terminals through the received indication information and, after removing the PDCCHs of the one or more other terminals from the PDSCH transmuted to the terminal, performs rate matching, so that occurrence of matching errors may be reduced, and the condition that a PDSCH data packet may not be correctly parsed in a short time period due to the matching errors can be avoided.

SECOND EXAMPLE

In the example, the indication information includes N bits, N being greater than 1. Each bit corresponds to a respective one of one or more other terminals except the terminal. Referring to FIG. 6 , a flow of the example is as follows.

In S601, a terminal acquires resources occupied by PDCCHs of N other terminals corresponding to N bits based on configuration information that is received in advance.

In S602, a base station sets N bits in PDCCH signaling or RRC signaling and assigns values to the N bits according to at least one of: existence states of the PDCCHs of the other terminals in a PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, or resource occupation states of the other terminals.

Specifically, each bit corresponds to a respective one of the one or more other terminals, and each bit is configured to represent at least one of: whether the PDCCH of the other terminal corresponding to the bit exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, or whether a resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal is occupied by the other terminal corresponding to the bit. For example, when the value of a bit is 0, it is represented at least one of: no PDCCH of the other terminal corresponding to the bit exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, or no resource is occupied by the other terminal corresponding to the bit; and when the value of the bit is 0, it is represented at least one of: the PDCCH of the other terminal corresponding to the bit exists in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, or the resource in the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal is occupied by the other terminal corresponding to the bit.

For example, when the number of terminals under the coverage of the base station is 4, for a terminal X in the example, the number N of the other terminals is 3 the base station sets three bits in the PDCCH signaling or the RRC signaling and the other terminals are sequentially represented with A, B and C and correspond to the three bits in sequence respectively. Then, it may be obtained that, when the three bits are “000”, it is indicated that PDCCHs of all the other terminals A, B and C do no occupy a PDSCH of the terminal X, when the three bits are “100”, it is indicated that the PDCCH of A occupies the PDSCH of the terminal X while the PDCCHs of both B and C do not occupy the PDSCH of the terminal X, and so on. There are no elaborations made in the example.

In S603, the base station sends the PDCCH signaling or the RRC signaling the terminal.

In S604, the terminal parses the PDCCH signaling or the RRC signaling to acquire the N bits and the values of the N bits.

In S605, the terminal traverses the N bits and judges whether the values of all the bits are 0, if YES, S606 to S608 are executed, and if NO, S609 is executed.

In S606, the terminal determines whether the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal includes a PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH according to preset correspondences between time-frequency resources of a PDSCH and time-frequency resources of a PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH, if YES, S607 is executed, otherwise S608 is executed.

In S607, the terminal removes the PDCCH configured to schedule the PDSCH from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal and then performs rate matching.

In S605, the terminal directly performs rate matching on the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal.

In S609, the terminal removes the resource occupied by the PDCCH of the other terminal corresponding to the bit of which the value is 1 from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal and then performs rate matching.

It is to be understood that S606 to S608 are for the operation that the terminal removes a resource occupied by a PDCCH of the terminal from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, so that, in a specific implementation process, after the resource occupied by the PDCCH of the other terminal is removed from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal according to S609, removal of the resource occupied by the PDCCH of the terminal from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal and final rate matching may further be implemented according to S606 to S608.

From the example, it may be seen that the terminal learns whether the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal includes the PDCCHs of one or more other terminals and the corresponding one or more other terminals through the received indication information and, after removing the PDCCHs of a corresponding number of other terminals from the PDSCH transmitted to the terminal, performs rate matching, so that occurrence of matching errors may be reduced, and the condition that a PDSCH data packet may not be correctly parsed in a short time period due to the matching errors is avoided.
